The Amiga Computer is an exciting new high-performance microcomputer with superb graphics, sound, and multitasking capabilities. Its technologically advanced hardware, designed around the Motorola 68000 microprocessor, includes three sophisticated custom chips that control graphics, audio, and peripherals. The Amiga's unique system software is contained in 192K of read-only memory (ROM), providing programmers with unparalleled power, flexibility, and convenience in designing and creating programs.
The AMIGA ROM KERNEL REFERENCE MANUAL: Libraries and Devices, written by the technical staff at Commodore-Amiga, Inc., is a detailed introduction to and description of the hundreds of graphics, animation, text, math, and audio routines that make up the Amiga's ROM. This book includes:
- an introduction to how libraries and devices are designed and used
- hundreds of examples to illustrate the uses of the ROM routines
- an in-depth tutorial on graphics and animation
- a complete listing of the libraries and devices in Amiga's ROM
For the serious programmer working in assembly language, C, or Pascal who wants to take full advantage of the Amiga's impressive capabilities, the AMIGA ROM KERNEL REFERENCE MANUAL: Libraries and Devices is an essential reference.
Written by the technical staff at Commodore-Amiga, Inc., who designed the Amiga's hardware and system software, the AMIGA ROM KERNEL REFERENCE MANUAL:
Libraries and Devices is the definitive source of information on the libraries and
